On May 9, 2014, the 12th Wenzhou International Optics Fair with the theme of the Rise of Brands raised its curtain at Wenzhou International Convention & Exhibition Center, attracting more than 300 suppliers to the grand meeting. Apart from Wenzhou’s local eyewear manufacturers, the annual trade show also included suppliers from Linhai, Yuhuan, Hong Kong and Taiwan etc.

At present, there are more than 1,000 factories in Wenzhou producing glasses and eyewear-related products with more than 100,000 employees. In 2013, the total output of Wenzhou’s optical industry reached approximately 10 billion Yuan with an export of 800 million US dollars, making the city a main production hub of the world’s medium-and-high-end eyewear. Many optical factories have been OEM partners with GUCCI, CD and Pierre Cardin etc, as their product quality is recognized by these international brands.

In recent years, due to the fluctuation of the overseas market as well as the competition from other emerging countries, some local optical factories in Wenzhou have sought to explore the domestic market in China by investing heavily on their own brands, and their domestic sales have increased rapidly with their own brands gradually recognized by domestic consumers.

According to the statistics from Wenzhou Customs, the export of Wenzhou’s eyewear is 1,692,010,000 Yuan over the period from January to April this year, a 2.61% year-on-year rise. In April, the monthly export reaches 452,290,000 Yuan, increasing by 18.14% on a year-on-year basis.
